Notes on this text (2)
- The Old Testament is translated from the Hebrew, not from the Septuagint read in the Orthodox Church; there are no deuterocanonical books.
- Katharevousa (learned 19th-century Greek), as in the CrossWire module (text from theword.gr).
1 Εν τω εβδόμω έτει του Ιηού εβασίλευσεν ο Ιωάς· και εβασίλευσε τεσσαράκοντα έτη εν Ιερουσαλήμ· το δε όνομα της μητρός αυτού ήτο Σιβιά εκ Βηρ-σαβεέ.
1 Jehoash began to reign in the seventh year of Jehu, and he reigned forty years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Zibiah of Beersheba.
2 Και έπραττεν ο Ιωάς το ευθές ενώπιον του Κυρίου, κατά πάσας τας ημέρας αυτού καθ' ας ώδήγει αυτόν Ιωδαέ ο ιερεύς.
2 Jehoash did that which was right in Yahweh’s eyes all his days in which Jehoiada the priest instructed him.
3 Οι υψηλοί όμως τόποι δεν αφηρέθησαν· ο λαός εθυσίαζεν έτι και εθυμίαζεν εν τοις υψηλοίς τόποις.
3 However, the high places were not taken away. The people still sacrificed and burned incense in the high places.
4 Και είπεν ο Ιωάς προς τους ιερείς, Παν το αργύριον των αφιερωμάτων το εισφερόμενον εις τον οίκον του Κυρίου, το αργύριον εκάστου διερχομένου εις τους απαριθμουμένους, το αργύριον εκάστου κατά την εκτίμησιν αυτού, παν το αργύριον το οποίον ήθελεν ελθεί εις την καρδίαν τινός να προσφέρη εις τον οίκον του Κυρίου,
4 Jehoash said to the priests, “All the money of the holy things that is brought into Yahweh’s house, in current money, the money of the people for whom each man is evaluated, and all the money that it comes into any man’s heart to bring into Yahweh’s house,
5 οι ιερείς ας λαμβάνωσιν αυτό εις εαυτούς, έκαστος παρά του γνωστού αυτού· και ας επισκευάζωσι τα χαλάσματα του οίκου, πανταχού όπου ευρεθή χάλασμα.
5 let the priests take it to them, each man from his donor; and they shall repair the damage to the house, wherever any damage is found.”
6 Πλην εν τω εικοστώ τρίτω έτει του βασιλέως Ιωάς οι ιερείς δεν είχον επισκευάσει τα χαλάσματα του οίκου.
6 But it was so, that in the twenty-third year of King Jehoash the priests had not repaired the damage to the house.
7 Όθεν εκάλεσεν ο βασιλεύς Ιωάς τον Ιωδαέ τον ιερέα και τους ιερείς και είπε προς αυτούς, Διά τι δεν επεσκευάσατε τα χαλάσματα του οίκου; τώρα λοιπόν μη λαμβάνετε πλέον αργύριον παρά των γνωστών σας, αλλά δίδετε αυτό διά τα χαλάσματα του οίκου.
7 Then King Jehoash called for Jehoiada the priest, and for the other priests, and said to them, “Why aren’t you repairing the damage to the house? Now therefore take no more money from your treasurers, but deliver it for repair of the damage to the house.”
8 Και έστερξαν οι ιερείς να μη λαμβάνωσι πλέον αργύριον παρά του λαού και να μη επισκευάζωσι τα χαλάσματα του οίκου.
8 The priests consented that they should take no more money from the people, and not repair the damage to the house.
9 Και έλαβεν Ιωδαέ ο ιερεύς εν κιβώτιον και ήνοιξε τρύπαν επί του σκεπάσματος αυτού, και έθεσεν αυτό πλησίον του θυσιαστηρίου, εις τα δεξιά της εισόδου του οίκου του Κυρίου· και οι ιερείς, οι φυλάττοντες την θύραν, έβαλλον εις αυτό παν το αργύριον, το εισφερόμενον εις τον οίκον του Κυρίου.
9 But Jehoiada the priest took a chest and bored a hole in its lid, and set it beside the altar, on the right side as one comes into Yahweh’s house; and the priests who kept the threshold put all the money that was brought into Yahweh’s house into it.
10 Και ότε έβλεπον ότι ήτο πολύ το αργύριον το εν τω κιβωτίω, ο γραμματεύς του βασιλέως και ο ιερεύς ο μέγας ανέβαινον και έδενον εις σακκία και εμέτρουν το αργύριον το ευρεθέν εν τω οίκω του Κυρίου.
10 When they saw that there was much money in the chest, the king’s scribe and the high priest came up, and they put it in bags and counted the money that was found in Yahweh’s house.
11 Και έδιδον το αργύριον το μετρηθέν εις τας χείρας εκείνων οίτινες έκαμνον το έργον, οίτινες είχον την επιστασίαν του οίκου του Κυρίου· οι δε εξώδευον αυτό εις τους ξυλουργούς και οικοδόμους, τους δουλεύοντας εν τω οίκω του Κυρίου,
11 They gave the money that was weighed out into the hands of those who did the work, who had the oversight of Yahweh’s house; and they paid it out to the carpenters and the builders who worked on Yahweh’s house,
12 και εις τους κτίστας και εις τους λιθοτόμους, διά να αγοράζωσι ξύλα και λίθους λατομητούς, ώστε να επισκευάζωσι τα χαλάσματα του οίκου του Κυρίου, και διά πάντα όσα εχρειάζοντο διά την επισκευήν του οίκου.
12 and to the masons and the stone cutters, and for buying timber and cut stone to repair the damage to Yahweh’s house, and for all that was laid out for the house to repair it.
13 Πλην εκ του αργυρίου του εισφερομένου εις τον οίκον του Κυρίου δεν κατεσκευάσθησαν διά τον οίκον του Κυρίου φιάλαι αργυραί, λυχνοψάλιδα, λεκάναι, σάλπιγγες, ουδέν σκεύος χρυσούν ή σκεύος αργυρούν·
13 But there were not made for Yahweh’s house cups of silver, snuffers, basins, trumpets, any vessels of gold or vessels of silver, of the money that was brought into Yahweh’s house;
14 αλλ' έδιδον αυτό εις τους εργάτας, και επεσκεύαζον με αυτό τον οίκον του Κυρίου.
14 for they gave that to those who did the work, and repaired Yahweh’s house with it.
15 Και δεν εζήτουν λογαριασμόν παρά των ανθρώπων, εις τους οποίους έδιδον το αργύριον διά να μοιρασθή εις τους εργάτας· διότι ειργάζοντο εν πίστει.
15 Moreover they didn’t demand an accounting from the men into whose hand they delivered the money to give to those who did the work; for they dealt faithfully.
16 Το αργύριον το περί ανομίας και το αργύριον το περί αμαρτίας δεν εφέροντο εις τον οίκον του Κυρίου· ταύτα ήσαν των ιερέων.
16 The money for the trespass offerings and the money for the sin offerings was not brought into Yahweh’s house. It was the priests’.
17 Τότε ανέβη Αζαήλ ο βασιλεύς της Συρίας και επολέμησεν εναντίον της Γαθ, και εκυρίευσεν αυτήν· έπειτα έστησεν ο Αζαήλ το πρόσωπον αυτού διά να αναβή εναντίον της Ιερουσαλήμ.
17 Then Hazael king of Syria went up and fought against Gath, and took it; and Hazael set his face to go up to Jerusalem.
18 Και έλαβεν ο Ιωάς βασιλεύς του Ιούδα πάντα τα αφιερώματα όσα Ιωσαφάτ και Ιωράμ και Οχοζίας, οι πατέρες αυτού, βασιλείς του Ιούδα, είχον αφιερώσει, και τα ίδια αυτού αφιερώματα και παν το χρυσίον το ευρεθέν εν τοις θησαυροίς του οίκου του Κυρίου και του οίκου του βασιλέως, και έστειλεν αυτά προς τον Αζαήλ βασιλέα της Συρίας· και ανεχώρησεν από της Ιερουσαλήμ.
18 Jehoash king of Judah took all the holy things that Jehoshaphat and Jehoram and Ahaziah, his fathers, kings of Judah, had dedicated, and his own holy things, and all the gold that was found in the treasures of Yahweh’s house, and of the king’s house, and sent it to Hazael king of Syria; and he went away from Jerusalem.
19 Αι δε λοιπαί πράξεις του Ιωάς και πάντα όσα έπραξε, δεν είναι γεγραμμένα εν τω βιβλίω των χρονικών των βασιλέων του Ιούδα;
19 Now the rest of the acts of Joash, and all that he did, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
20 Και σηκωθέντες οι δούλοι αυτού, έκαμον συνωμοσίαν και επάταξαν τον Ιωάς εν τω οίκω Μιλλώ, εν τη καταβάσει Σιλλά.
20 His servants arose and made a conspiracy, and struck Joash at the house of Millo, on the way that goes down to Silla.
21 Διότι Ιωζαχάρ ο υιός του Σιμεάθ και Ιωζαβάδ ο υιός του Σωμήρ, οι δούλοι αυτού, επάταξαν αυτόν, και απέθανε· και έθαψαν αυτόν μετά των πατέρων αυτού εν τη πόλει Δαβίδ· εβασίλευσε δε αντ' αυτού Αμασίας ο υιός αυτού.
21 For Jozacar the son of Shimeath, and Jehozabad the son of Shomer, his servants, struck him, and he died; and they buried him with his fathers in David’s city; and Amaziah his son reigned in his place.
